Product Information

Adjustable beds are mechanical devices that use joints to provide a wide selection of positions. These joints work similarly to other lifting mechanisms. It means they will make noise if they are not adequately lubricated. Serious injuries have occurred from the use of bed rails. The prescribing, selecting, fitting and maintenance of bed rails needs considerable care to avoid injury. The Medical Devices Agency (now within the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a bulletin in July 2001 - Advice on the safe use of bed rails.

The roller is placed across the bed and under the user who is lying flat on the bed with the open ends facing the head and feet. Once the roller is positioned some users find they can then turn independently. Alternatively, carers can assist the user by pulling on the top layer of the roller or by pulling on a correctly positioned handling sheet on top of the roller.

Care should be taken that there is no wall- mounted obstruction to prevent the bed from moving vertically or that nothing can get trapped underneath the bed when it is lowered. Many adjustable height beds do not stop automatically if there is an object underneath and there is a risk of entrapment.

a more comfortable and stable position can be achieved in a bed with four sections, as the user’s bottom remains horizontal while the knees are raised to form a break;

Caution: If possible, have a helper assist in the setting of the frame onto the mechanism and the loading of the mattress onto the mattress frame because it will be under tension by the springs. It takes a little wiring skill to set the lifts to one switch that activates all four at the same time. Here is one more video that installs a different electric bed lift. It actually shows you how they do it so copying their work should not be too difficult. Two main sizes of roller are available: a small version (large cushion size) and a larger version (sleeping bag size). If the smaller, cushion sized roller is used, it is placed under the user’s shoulders and bottom. The larger, sleeping bag sized version is placed so that it extends from head to toe. When used for turning, the open ends of the rollers are always towards the head and foot end of the bed. As most people spend between a third and a half of their lives in bed, it is important to ensure that the time spent there is as comfortable as possible, and that it is easy to move around or get in or out of the bed. Installs directly onto the cabinet side panels and bolts secure in 5 places. Bolt hole template is included with the instructions.
